Step into the rhythm: Tap Dance Intensive for Swing Dancers!

Ever wanted to turn your swing bounce into sound?

If you dance Lindy Hop, you already understand swing, syncopation, and call-and-response. In this 3-week beginner intensive (2 × 2h + 1 × 1.5h), we’re opening the door to the rich, expressive world of Rhythm Tap.

Tap dancing can get quite intense to learn, so these classes will have a unique structure by having longer duration with plenty of breaks and history discussion!

Teacher:

Lucian Szantho: A dedicated and experienced tap dancer, who's been a part of our Swing Dancing Community for many years!

Contents:

The Tap Shim Sham: Learn the rhythmic, percussive version of the classic routine you already know from the social dance floor.

The Music & The Lineage: Discover the legends who shaped the art form—from Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, The Nicholas Brothers, Buster Brown, and Eddie Brown to the slides of Jimmy Slyde etc. and modern innovators (a very long list of amazing artists).

Jam Culture: Learn how to "speak" rhythm in a supportive, low-stakes jam circle.

Live Music Finale: In our final session, we’ll play and groove together alongside a live jazz musician!

Schedule:

25/10: 16:30-18:30 Ungdomens Hus, Sal 11

1/11: 16:30-18:30 Ungdomens Hus, Sal 11

8/11: 17:00-18:30 Ungdomens Hus, Sal 11

Do I need tap shoes?

Not to start! Hard-soled leather dress shoes or classic smooth-soled dance shoes work great for beginners.
